Rachel Hunt (BFA Studio Education/Fibers 2005) completed a MFA in Fibers at Cranbrook Academy in Michigan in May 2008. Right after graduating she began a year-long Artist in Residence position at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.
Rachel had solo shows of her sculptural installations at Artworks! in New Bedford, Massachusetts January to March 2008 and at the Museum of New Art in Pontiac, Michigan in April 2008. Starting from a background of traditional fiber and textile processes, Rachel has moved into installation, sculpture, and scientific drawing. As part of a group of eleven artists, she will be exhibiting work in "Changing Cities/Moving Walls" in Bregenz, Austria; Berlin, Germany; and Beijing, China November 2008 to January 2009.
Rachel’s work was also published in an article showcasing student work in the November/December 2007 issue of Fiber Arts. Her sculpture (Untitled, 2006; iron, nickel, assorted fabric, thread; sewn; 54" x 14" x 13") is on the cover of that issue.
Rachel returned to MassArt this week as a Visiting Artist in Fibers, and we were delighted to see her in Art Education as well.

Shelly Magno (TPP Dec. 2007) is teaching at Cyrus E. Dallin Elementary School in Arlington.
See photos of her new art room, which she re-arranged to include a quiet rug space for sharing and reflecting time, joined tables, open floor space, and central supply stations. Shelly says, "I credit my student teaching experience at Baker School in Brookline for teaching me how to set up a room." One of Shelly’s Supervising Practitioners at Baker was Megan Burdy, our own Art Education alum (MSAE Dec. 2002). Hooray for our alums out in the field, who inspire our current Art Education students!
Thank you for sending the photos of your beautiful room, Shelly. Other alums, send photos too!
